The casualty exchange ratio between the enemy and the enemy quickly tilted in favor of the Ming army, and basically, from the overall point of view, the Qing army could kill a Ming shield or spearman for every five to six people killed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is simply a huge shame beyond words!

Such a battlefield situation completely exceeded Tan Tai's expectations, and it can even be said that it completely subverted his consistent perception of the Ming army!

What is the origin of this fierce and ruthless army?

When did the Ming army, which was timid and afraid of death and was about to collapse at the touch of a button, become so capable of fighting?

It's a terrible nightmare!

The current Tan Tai, the original hope of defeating the Ming army on the opposite side in one fell swoop, has been completely shattered, and what has been replaced by unspeakable regret.

It's just that it's too late to regret!

The two sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties fought for nearly twenty minutes, and the surrendered Ming troops in the Qing army's formation could no longer resist Li Xiaojun's fierce offensive, and began to collapse first, they wailed and threw down their swords, turned around and fled.

The Manchurian and Mongol cavalry in the rear immediately rushed forward and slashed and killed these fleeing surrendered Ming troops, but they could not let these frightened surrendered Ming troops have the courage to re-line themselves and engage Li Xiao's army.

Soon, more and more deserters began to appear in the Mongol and Han armies, and these Manchurian doglegs, also weeping and wailing, threw their swords and ran backwards.

On the entire battlefield, most of the Qing army had fallen into chaos, and the Ming army began to quickly gain the upper hand, and surrounded the more than 600 Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner soldiers who were still fighting hard.

At the same time, the Ming army also divided a spearman and began to rush towards the cavalry in the rear of the Qing army.

At this point in the battle, the general trend of the Qing army has gone, and it is extremely critical!

"Master, what should I do? Why don't our troops quickly retreat from the West Gate? Karamu, whose face was covered in blood, squeezed in front of Tan Tai and shouted at him with a look of horror.

Escape?

Can you still escape?

Now the guns and shields of the Ming army have all rushed into the fort, and the Qing army has fallen into a heavy siege. Besides, even if they desperately rushed out of the east gate, those Li Xiaojun cavalry were probably waiting impatiently outside the door, waiting for themselves to rush out to test their swords.

Tan Tai didn't answer Karamu, his eyes were blood-red, and his teeth were clenched. He suddenly roared, brandished a snow-bright stainless steel tiger knife, rushed to the front of the Ming army's battle array, and fought with the Ming army's infantry!

More than 20 people beside him who were in his side, who were white and white, also shouted loudly, jumped in front of the Ming army, and slashed and killed.

Tan Tai, who was highly skilled in martial arts, and his elite Baizhan White Tooth Soldiers, with a fierce and powerful momentum, actually rushed away the Ming army on the opposite side in large numbers, and more than a dozen Ming spearmen or shield soldiers were killed or wounded under their rapid and fierce attacks.

Seeing that their own commander was so brave, the remaining Manchurian soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner were boosted in morale, and they also mustered up the courage to fight hard with the Ming army on the opposite side.

At this time, a well-equipped heavy infantry rushed to the front of the formation, blocking Tan Tai and the group of white swingers, and also immediately began a fierce counterattack.

This heavy infantry is Li Xiaojun's rampant sentry armed to the teeth.

They were like mecha monsters, each dressed in triple armor made of fine wrought iron, and was wrapped from head to toe, even with face armor on their faces, revealing only two eyes, almost like a miniature tank. The heavy tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, thick-backed scythes and other heavy weapons in everyone's hands slashed at the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side.

There were 600 men in the rampant sentry, and in terms of combat skills and courage, they were on a par with the white swing teeth soldiers on the opposite side, and by virtue of their numerical superiority, they quickly gained the absolute upper hand.

Soon, the dozens of white pendulum yalamas who were originally fighting in a group immediately had to fall into a state of dividing their troops to fight, one after another bai pendulum and those yellow flag infantrymen wailed and fell to the ground.

And Tan Tai, the main general of the Qing army, was immediately surrounded by three rampant sentinels at the same time, fortunately he had outstanding martial arts and could barely cope with the battle.

At this time, he heard a thunderous Manchu language exploding in his ears: "Tan Tai, you thief, do you recognize me?!" ”

Tan Tai was shocked, turned his head to see that a man with the appearance of a rampant sentry armor rushed over, ordered the rampaging team members to retreat, and then took off his helmet, sneering at him, but the tiger knife in his hand was slashed sharply!

Tan Tai struggled to resist this ferocious blow, and he was surprised to find that although this person had a Han hairstyle, he was extremely familiar, and he couldn't think of who it was for a while.

"Hmph, grandpa was originally a white flag of Jia Lae Zhen Chata, Tan Tai, you guy, the dog's eyes are so big, how can you not recognize it!" Chata snorted coldly, casually deceived himself in, and slashed away with another knife.

Tan Tai finally struggled to hold on, and he had an expression of surprise on his face: "Are you Chata?!" Didn't you die outside Jinzhou that day with Gushan Ezhen Ashan? ”

Chata's thick beard shook, but his eyes glared fiercely: "Fart!" Lao Tzu didn't die, Lao Tzu became a Ming army, and changed his Han surname to Yin, he is already a member of the Ming Kingdom, but today, he wants to take your dog's life! ”

Tan Tai was furious, and he was injured in many places all over his body, so he tried his best, danced the tiger knife hard, and slashed at Chata, while scolding: "You have forgotten the goods of your ancestors, and you dare to make nonsense in front of this official, I will kill you now!" ”

Seeing that he was angry, Chata showed a flaw in the lower plate, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, he twisted his body to dodge Tan Tai's desperate blow, and shouted loudly in his mouth, but the tiger knife in his hand slashed downward in a direction parallel to Tan Tai's knife momentum.

The cold and sharp tiger knife blade slashed heavily at the unprotected knee bend of Tan Tai's right calf, only to hear a soft sound of bone cracking, and the blood in Tan Tai's right calf soared, he screamed miserably, and half knelt on the ground.

At the same time, Chata shouted in Manchu: "Tan Tai has been seriously injured, you won't come down early!" ”

Li Xiao's soldiers, who were also fighting non-stop next to him, heard this, and guessed that it was Chata who was persuading him to surrender, and immediately shouted: "Surrender quickly, you can avoid death!" ”

A group of Manchurian soldiers with the Yellow Banner who were fighting desperately suddenly became suspicious, and many of them had a panicked and confused expression.

Tan Tai supported the ground with a knife, tried to stand up straight, and shouted sharply: "Don't fall!" Kill me, I'll kill all these dogs! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a pop, and there was a huge pain in his stomach.

Tan Tai looked down and saw a sharp knife tip, the tip of which was full of blood and dirt, leaking out from the front of his abdomen.

"Oh, it's a thief。。。。。。"

Tan Tai muttered in his mouth, he endured the great pain, turned his head to look back, and saw Karamu's expression of horror and guilt, Tan Tai even noticed that Karamu was holding the knife that pierced him in the abdomen in his hand!

"Master, the matter has come to this, it is useless to fight again, you have to be loyal to the country, but the brothers don't want to die yet." Karamu said with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice.

"Karamu, you dog minion, I'm Tan Tai really blind。。。。。。" Tan Tai scolded angrily in his mouth, but he didn't have the strength to hit Karamu anymore.

Karamu ignored him no longer, but immediately stood up and shouted to the group of Manchurian soldiers who were all stunned: "Brothers, our army has done its best for the country at this time, please join me to surrender the Ming army and save your life!" ”

After Karamu finished speaking, he took the lead in throwing the long-handled military sickle held in his other hand, and then knelt down to Chata and the others and said, "Sin General Karamu, surrender to the Great Tomorrow soldiers!" ”

Seeing that the deputy general had surrendered, all the Manchurian Yellow Banner soldiers, including the more than 300 Manchurian cavalry behind, no longer had the fighting spirit, and they all followed his example, threw their swords, and knelt on the ground to beg to surrender.

The Mongol soldiers, the Han army, and the surrendered Ming army, seeing that the Manchurian soldiers had surrendered, immediately threw away their weapons quickly, knelt on the ground, and loudly begged the Ming army for mercy.

Tan Tai, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was pale and stunned, and his body was shaking and trembling all the time because of the pain in his legs and abdomen, or for some reason.

At this time, Wu Zhuang, the deputy commander of the Golden Wolf Battalion with a bloody face, walked over, he glanced at Tan Tai coldly, and shouted: "Strip him of his armor, tie him to the pillar, and welcome General Li into the city!" ”

At this time, outside the city, seeing that Li Xiaojun had taken the town border guarded by thousands of Qing troops in less than an hour, Du Shi, Du Shaoru and others were all dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect Lord Li's earth-shattering thunder to be so powerful, the bombing of the city wall is like child's play, and the soldiers under him are so brave, and the combat power is only afraid that it is still above the Manchurian Tartars. Master Li's ability to govern the army, Du thought that in my Ming Dynasty, Mr. Li was called second, and I was afraid that no one would be able to call him first. Du Shi, the commander of the dragon gate guard, complimented Li Xiao, who was about to enter the city, with a smirk.

Li Xiao smiled, but waved his hand and said, "Commander Du has a good reputation, and let's enter the city with our army." ”

When entering the city from the West Gate, Li Xiao was very emotional when he saw that the entire West Gate city wall and city gate were blown up and destroyed like this.

In fact, Li Xiao knew that the earth-shattering thunder thrown by the trebuchet was not as powerful as Du Shi said.

Li Xiao's tactic of bombarding the ground wall with earth-shaking thunder this time was because he had heard Du Shi say that the city walls on the edge of the town were all built of rammed earth, and they were weathered and peeled off.

Because, the trebuchet made by Li Xiaojun can bombard a distance of only 230 meters on the horizontal plane, and the calculation of 1.3 meters per step is a little more than 176 steps in total. Moreover, the throwing force of the trebuchet was completely incomparable to that of heavy artillery such as the Hongyi cannon, and it was simply not enough to break through the city walls. Therefore, if the city on the edge of the town is a brick wall structure, or a newly built rammed earth city wall, the earth-shattering thunder thrown by Li Xiaojun is likely to be immediately bounced off by the solid city wall, so that it will not have any effect of breaking the city.

But now such weathered and damaged rammed earth city wall, due to the loosening of the soil, after the earth-shaking thunder hits it, the city wall will sink inward, absorbing most of the impact force, and then the earth-shaking thunder will roll down under the city wall and begin to explode, so that it will just cause strong damage to the city wall and cause the collapse of the city wall.

In the city on the edge of the town, the artillery is old, and it is not maintained in peacetime, the attack distance is limited, and it is very easy to explode, so Li Xiao can safely push the trebuchet to a distance of ninety steps from the city wall, and then attack with earth-shattering thunder.

"You're Tan Tai?"

After entering the city, Li Xiao, who was surrounded by a group of generals, came to Tan Tai, who was tied to a pillar and dying, with a cold face.

Tan Tai opened his eyes, stared at Li Xiao with a dying eye, and said with difficulty: "Minggou, who are you?" ”

"Smack!"

Chata slapped Tan Tai in the face fiercely, causing Tan Tai to vomit blood in his mouth, which made Karamu, who was standing silently on the side, tremble.

"Dog thing, see clearly, this is our Lord Li, Li Xiao and General Li!" Chata shouted loudly to Tan Tai in Manchu.

Tan Tai's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something, he smiled miserably and said: "Oh, it turns out that you are the same Li Xiao, it seems that I am not too ashamed to lose at your hands." ”

"Tan Tai, this officer will give you one last chance to surrender to our army." Li Xiao's words were as cold as iron.

Tan Tai listened to Chatta's translation, but he burst out laughing loudly with a crazy expression on his face.

Then, he stared at Li Xiao in front of him and said in a low voice: "Do you want me to surrender, you can." It's just that, Li Xiao, I have a sentence that I want to tell you, you should stand closer. ”

Li Xiao's thick eyebrows twisted, and he took a step forward.

Unexpectedly, just after Li Xiao took a step forward, Tan Tai probed suddenly, opened his mouth with blood flowing straight down, and bit Li Xiao's ear fiercely!

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao seemed to have thought of his bad intentions, and quickly retreated, avoiding Tan Tai's sudden bite.

Immediately, Li Xiao swept the ground from Chatta, who had not yet responded, and pulled out a small knife to untie the head and plunged it into Tan Tai's chest!

At this time, there was silence all around.

All the people looked at the commander Li Xiao with a hideous look on his face in astonishment, and used the sharp knife to slowly cut and dig in Tan Tai's chest, and the sound of the knife cutting off the ribs and fascia made people palpitate.

With a "hiss", Li Xiao stretched out his left hand and pulled it on Tan Tai's chest, and a blood-drenched heart was held in Li Xiaoping's palm.

Blood spurted out of Tan Tai's chest, staining Commander Li Xiao into a bloody man.

When Tan Tai's pupils were rapidly dilated, Li Xiao whispered in his ear: "Tan Tai, let me tell you, I, Li Xiao, will not only dig out your heart and cut off your head, but in the future, I will forever trample your despicable and ungrateful race under my feet forever, and I will never be able to turn over!" ”

Tan Tai's head twisted, and he was angry.

Li Xiao held the beating Tan Tai's heart with his left hand, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, as if he was admiring a rare work of art.

Then he slowly walked over to Chatta, handing him back the knife and glancing to him. Chata understood, nodded, walked to Tan Tai's dead body, and with a swing of his knife, he cut off Tan Tai's head completely.

The reason why Li Xiao hates this Tan Tai so much is because this Tan Tai is really a heinous crime in history. This person was very cool and good at killing people in Liaodong, and later entered the customs, especially for killing Han civilians, and was an executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Han people.

In real history, after Tan Tai wiped out Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong's troops, he slaughtered 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanchang City and 200,000 civilians in Guangzhou City.

Such a wicked person, still so wicked and unhandsome and stubbornly resisting, of course Li Xiao wants to give him the most hateful and cruel way to die, and send him to the eighteenth layer of hell.

A foul smell of human excrement suddenly spread around, and Li Xiao looked at it, including Karamu, a group of soldiers with the Yellow Banner who surrendered, and many of them had thin yellow on their crotches.

"Listen up, in the future, if anyone disobeys the management of our army, he will end up like Tan Tai."

Li Xiao's voice was very soft, his tone was calm, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of kneeling around him.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, don't worry, we will surrender sincerely, and we will not dare to rebel again!" Karamu and the frightened Yellow Banner soldiers trembled and wailed. They looked at Li Xiao, who was like a heart-digging madman, and the look of begging for mercy on his face was extremely humble and urgent.

At this time, out of nowhere, a skinny leper dog with a long body came out, Li Xiao sighed lightly, and threw Tan Tai's heart, which was still beating, towards the leper dog.

The leper dog jumped up nimbly, grabbed Tan Tai's heart, and ran away with his tail between his legs.

Li Xiao turned around and looked at Karamu and the other Yellow Flag soldiers who were kneeling and begging with a smile on his face.

"Since you are willing to serve your own soldiers loyally, then, in order to express your loyalty, you will eat this Tan Tai's headless body with one knife and one bite."

Li Xiao's voice was very soft and calm, but it was full of irresistible coercion. (To be continued.) )
